Valvoline Dex merc is the exact same spec as the matic fluids...even says matic j/s on the back of it...there's some nissan/infiniti dealerships in dallas that use it. Even been reports on these forums of guys getting that in the car from the dealer. Shifts just like it should, no issues...half this matic only crap is all marketing

For transmissions, I only use OEM (or OEM equivolent aka licensed) fluids period.

Too many stories about substitute fluid being used causing poor performance. How cheap can you be? You save 10 bucks.
